Well, I paid the Stupid Tax today for not watching the brake fluid level. Which receeded as the front pads wore till the reservoir became filled with air, and then the air pushed past the piston, exit the front brakes. Scary ride home. Tax was $39.95 for a spiffy little power bleeder I got off O'Rielly's. Fill the reservoir, hook the bleeder to the bleed fitting, pump like hell, and GOBS of air and bubbles, and (eventually) clear fluid. Did both sides, solid pedal. So now I got a power bleeder, I just bought it a bit before I >thought< I was going to need it. Moral: Every time you check the trans fluid, check the brake fluid. These coaches wear the pads fairly fast.
Step number the next, the oil pressure guage migrated to the top of the arc on the same trip. I got a new sender, hopefully that's the ticket. If the guage itself is FUBAR, I'll add one outboard. Full high is a bit more comfortable sight than nothing.
